Is LinkdIn like Zillow? According to that site, my house was built in the 1930's and it's 1300 square feet. There were zero homes in my neighborhood in the 1930's.

Yikes - it probably just picked up the word public. But still - that is a crazy search result.

No, linkdin is a networking social media site for jobs. So you connect with people you know, and hope that they know someone who can help you find a job, or can vouch for you, etc. It's also a place where people with similar work backgrounds share information, form groups, and discuss business/economics/etc. So for example, I belong to two professional groups, and I am also involved on their linkdin pages. We share and discuss information relevant to our industry there. |

I know what linkdin does, I was wondering if it was a crappy website like zillow. The suggestion of a bartender job made me wonder if there were better places to look. |

Oh, there are plenty of places better, their algorithm seems pretty wonky. I have not had much luck there at all. |

I don't think Linked In is the best way to find a job. You need in person contacts.

My current contact list is pretty narrow since I recently moved across the country and know about 3 people here.  |

Ummmm...lol. because your bartender is like a therapist?? lol LOL My sister said she thinks I should just go for it, she said I should take some dance classes and work at one of those places like coyote ugly and get extra tips for dancing on the bar. I told her maybe I wouldn't and they could tip me to stop dancing. |
